Chapter 57 I just want to care about you
"How could you be so reckless? You haven't learned your lesson even after being injured." Huo Zhenhua's weak voice echoed in his mind.
His pained look flashed before my eyes.
This is unbelievable!
Su Mengru was so frightened by what felt like a lightning strike that her body stiffened, and she walked with her arms and legs moving in unison.
Would he really be so kind?
Pshaw! Even dogs are wearing hats now.
"Dr. Lin, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Wangshu walked towards her and asked in confusion when she saw Su Meng's strange walking posture.
Lin Xi?
Oh right! She's Lin Xi now.
Huo Zhenhua certainly didn't know she was Su Meng.
He was simply acting out of concern for the people as a soldier.
Stay calm!
Su Meng smiled wryly, clutching her aching arm. "It's nothing! Just a little accident."
At this moment, she perked up again.
She quickly walked past the man in front of her and sat back down next to Xiaoqi.
Seeing that Xiaoqi's eyes were red, she asked in surprise, "Why is Xiaoqi crying? Did you fall?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he seemed to hear a sneer from not far away.
She didn't turn around, but looked at Xie Mian.
Xie Mian said with a smile, "She was sad because the car started moving but you hadn't come back yet."
Su Meng felt a pang of sadness and picked up Xiao Qi, "Silly girl! Your brother will definitely go back with you."
Xie Mian had told her long ago that he only had an elderly mother and his two daughters at home.
He used to make a living by fishing at sea, but now that he's enlisted in the army and receives a stipend, his family's life has become much more stable.
“Your grandma will definitely welcome you.” Xie Mian added, worried that Su Meng might feel awkward, “My mother is a kind old woman, and she’s said to come from a wealthy family in Shanghai. You two might have something to talk about.”
"Oh~" Su Meng expressed her anticipation.
Half an hour later, we arrived at Zhoushi.
Wu Yanru and Cheng Wangshu went back to their respective carriages to pack their luggage.
Su Meng also changed back into her original attire.
She found a wheelchair, pushed Xie Mian with one hand, and held Xiao Qi in the other, preparing to get out of the car.
Huo Zhenhua nudged Wang Qinglin, "Go and push Comrade Xie Mian."
Wang Qinglin slung his backpack over his shoulder, not noticing Su Meng with her back to them, and kindly reminded her, "Go find your Comrade Su quickly."
Huo Zhenhua narrowed his eyes. "Too talkative!"
After saying that, he picked up his backpack and slowly followed behind Wang Qinglin.
Seeing Wang Qinglin and Su Meng start talking, he grabbed the wheelchair first, saying, "Comrade Xie, I'll push you."
Xie Mian nodded, "Thank you!"
Su Meng: "......"
What's going on?
Are they going to start a robbery at the drop of a hat?
She hugged Xiaoqi tightly and followed cautiously with small steps.
Wang Qinglin pointed at Huo Zhenhua, who was scrambling for the job, in astonishment: "Didn't you... ask me to push you away?"
Huo Zhenhua glanced at him, and he obediently shut up.
Because he was delayed on the railway for several days, his mission to lead a team to Zhoushan for disaster relief was taken over by the deputy commander.
Commander Tang ordered him to take Su Meng back directly.
After leaving the station, they got into a jeep together and then took a ferry across the river.
Even after arriving on the island, Su Meng did not see Wu Yanru.
"Where is Wu Yanru?" Su Meng couldn't help but ask.
Xie Mian: "She might arrive a little late."
Huo Zhenhua tilted his head and sneered: "Comrade Su, your revolutionary friendship is really fragile. You only think of your comrades at a time like this."
Su Meng immediately turned her head away and ignored her.
She didn't want to throw another punch.
The main problem is that we can't beat them!
Wang Qinglin chuckled, "Commander, be careful not to offend anyone again."
Some people, if they don't know how to chat, they should just shut up. Otherwise, they'll offend others, get annoyed and sullen, and drag the other person down with them.
He watched Huo Zhenhua with schadenfreude, then carried the sleeping Xiao Qi and walked smoothly to Xie Mian's house.
Xie Mian's report was also submitted with the help of Huo Zhenhua.
When Commander Tang saw that Su Meng was the one who reported Xie Mian for being in cahoots with enemy agents, and was also the person whose miniature camera had briefly been used;
He was also the one who knocked Xie Mian unconscious and sent him to the Armed Forces Department while he was on a mission.
Then she remembered Huo Zhenhua saying that she could improve the range of the Type 97 sniper rifle.
A mouthful of tea spurted out, like a sudden flood from the Milky Way, soaking the report and nourishing everything on the table.
He suddenly stood up and slammed his hand on the table. "Damn, he's a real character!"
He immediately contacted Huo Zhenhua: "Even if you have to kidnap her, bring Su Meng back to me. I want to see who she is!"
Recalling Commander Tang's firm tone with a smile, Huo Zhenhua glanced again at the girl who was looking at the sky and the ground but not at him, and sighed helplessly.
So stingy!
Why is she so short-tempered?
Before long, the group stopped outside a courtyard gate.
Wang Qinglin stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Aunt Xie, we're back."
Huo Zhenhua kicked him, "Shameless!"
Immediately afterwards, footsteps could be heard inside the courtyard.
The courtyard gate opened, and an elderly man with a full head of white hair, a kind face, and a smile in the wrinkles around his eyes warmly greeted them.
"They're all back! It's good that they're all back!"
When she saw Xie Mian sitting in the wheelchair, her smile froze for a moment. She raised her hand and touched his head. "My son is so lucky to be back! Everyone, come in quickly!"
Wang Qinglin carried Xiao Qi inside first.
Huo Zhenhua and Xie Mian didn't hear Su Meng's footsteps and turned around at the same time.
As always, Huo Zhenhua was concise and to the point: "Are you stupid? Come in!"
"We're home! Come in quickly." Xie Mian smiled gently.
The old man noticed Su Meng's unease and anxiety and quickly came over: "Young comrade, it's windy on the island, come in quickly."
Su Meng stared blankly at the old woman, tears welling up in her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Grandma!"
The old man, unsuspecting, responded cheerfully, "Yes! Good child, we're home. Come in, come in!"
Xie Mian knew about Su Meng's background and thought she was missing her family, so he immediately empathized with her feelings.
He was very happy and eager to see Su Meng join his family.
However, Huo Zhenhua sensitively sensed Su Meng's unusual emotions.
After everyone had gone inside, he leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Meng was startled and immediately wanted to get away.
Huo Zhenhua grabbed her arm, "Su Meng!"
Su Meng looked up in shock and met his dark eyes.
His eyes reflected her panicked little face, which swirled around with the coldness in his gaze.
He must be suspecting her of having ulterior motives again.
She forced a bitter smile and said very seriously, "Don't worry, I won't hurt them, really!"
Huo Zhenhua: "......"
"I just wanted to show you some concern."
How could she misinterpret his actions when he showed any concern?
He patiently explained again: "We are comrades who have gone through life and death together. I'm just showing my concern for you because I see you crying."
Su Meng scoffed, clearly disbelieving, "You're really that kind?"
I'd be grateful if they didn't make sarcastic remarks.
Huo Zhenhua has passed away.
He's telling the truth, so why don't you believe him?
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't bother explaining.
He looked at Wang Qinglin, who was peeking around, hoping he would say something nice.
Wang Qinglin gloated and said, "Serves you right!"
Huo Zhenhua squatted dejectedly under the eaves, feeling weak and listless, so weak that even his lighter couldn't produce a spark.
Seeing Su Meng close the door without hesitation, his heart pounded in his chest with the sound of the door closing.
A dull ache!
It seems she has a deep misunderstanding about him. Sigh!
"Commander, you've reaped what you sowed, haven't you?" Wang Qinglin truly lived up to his reputation as a master of finishing blows, striking at the sore spot.
